    It's finally fall, and Dallas is celebrating by doing all the festive things. This week is packed with opportunities to get your fix regardless of what it is that you are craving. So what will it be — wine, beer, or barbecue? There's also Park & Palate if your answer is all of the above.

    Thursday, October 25

    Brew & Bites at Pinstack Allen
    Have some fun to celebrate Pinstack Allen's first birthday. Inside a VIP suite, guests can sample the newest craft beer and cider releases from Lakewood Brewing Co., 3 Nations Brewery, and Austin Eastciders while enjoying dish pairings created exclusively for the event. Attendees will also get exclusive access to the VIP bowling lanes and have a chance to win giveaways from each brewery and Pinstack.

    WhistlePig Whiskey Dinner at The Grape
    In honor of the 46th anniversary of The Grape, chef Brian C. Luscher features a four-course bistro menu to complement the unique, aged whiskies, including the 10 Year, Farmstock, and Old World — with a bonus “Boss” course that will not disappoint. Special guest host is WhistlePig’s Doug Ward. Tickets are $145, and the dinner kicks off at 6:30 pm.

    Plano Magazine Beer Walk at The Shops at Willow Bend
    The Plano Magazine Beer Walk will feature more than 14 beers from Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma craft breweries. This event combines the two favorite things of any self-respecting Plano citizen — shopping and drinking beer — and is an ideal way to enjoy an afternoon sipping, listening to live music, and enjoying store discounts. Tickets are $15 and the event runs for 5:30-8:30 pm.

    Friday, October 26

    Celeb-owned sports bar Walk-On's is bringing more gumbo to Dallas

    Walk-On's brings all the fried delights.

    A Cajun sports bar-restaurant concept with celebrity ties is opening a new location northeast of Dallas: Walk-On's Bistreaux & Bar, the Baton Rouge-based chain founded by Brandon Landry and co-owned by New Orleans Saints superstar Drew Brees, will open in Wylie in a newly constructed space at 906 W. FM 544.

    According to a spokesperson, it'll open in summer 2026.

    Walk-On's features Louisiana cuisine and a full bar in a game-day atmosphere. Food is made from scratch, with a diverse menu featuring twists on game-day staples and upscale takes on Louisiana mainstays such as crawfish etouffee or duck & Andouille gumbo.

    According to the company history, Walk-Ons was concepted on the back of a napkin by LSU walk-on basketball players Brandon Landry and Jack Warner, who opened the first location in Baton Rouge in 2003. Franchise partners include not only co-owner Drew Brees but also celebrity athlete franchisees Dak Prescott, Derrick Brooks, and football coach Dabo Swinney.

    The menu has seafood and classic Louisiana dishes: fried seafood platters, pastas, burgers, sandwiches, po'boys, fried oysters, gumbo, fried alligator, and boudin balls. Prices range from $10 to $20.

    Starters include waffle cheese fries, fried pickles, boneless wings, cheeseburger sliders, spinach-artichoke dip, and venison nachos. They have a bread pudding made with Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

    This is not Walk-On's first foray into Dallas-Fort Worth. There's a location at 5774 Grandscape Blvd. in the Colony, which opened in 2020 at the height of the pandemic, and is thriving. With many Louisiana transplants and fans living among us, Dallas has a big appetite for this kind of food. Not to mention its family-friendly atmosphere and plentiful selection of beers on tap, margaritas, and other crafty-ish cocktails.

    The chain opened two other DFW locations, including the first that opened in the Dallas area in Las Colinas in 2018, followed by Arlington in 2019. Both of those locations have since closed, although Arlington is looking to reopen at a different address, the spokesperson says.

    In 2024, the company introduced a new smaller footprint, around 3,600 square feet — about a third the size of an old-school Walk-On's. The Wylie restaurant will come in at about 5,400 square feet.

    There are 12 Walk-On's across Texas, including Tyler and San Antonio, and nearly 80 locations total.
